penicillin

  • Without Dr. Howard Florey, Dr. Alexander Flemming might never have been credited with the discovery of penicillin, as it was Florey who supplied Flemming with a working dose of penicillin
  • Of the first 3 patients who received penicillin, only 1 survived. That is a 60% mortality rate
